The captain is back.
New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh played in Game 3 against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, a 3-1 New York loss.
No Mclrath or Diaz on for warmups. So six D: McD, Klein, Yandle, Skjei, MStaal, Boyle

McDonagh hadn't played since sustaining a hand injury on April 4. He saw 22:48 of ice time, was a minus-1, and threw five hits.
The Penguins now lead the series 2-1.
Mcdonagh was originally thought to be a long shot to play in Game 3, but his visit to the doctor's office Tuesday afternoon clearly went well.
